Hi Super-T,
What I found was when I joined I did not put the receipt number from the bank transaction with my application, Something like that anyway.
So I rang a couple of days later with it and all was fixed up.
I believe it still has to be matched and consolidated manualyl unfortunately.
I know this does not help you short term.
It's just the way the system works.

Thanks peoples.
Further investigation of the site, now the packing and planning are done, has found it's all done manuallly Mon-Friday (Hello? this IS the 21st Century).
Thankfully this is a very small spontaneous trip to a relatively local (2 hours or so) camping site, that I have been to once as a tag along via a very different route, but therefore have a very rough idea where it is and how to get to it, so the "free" view of the map, and manually entering co-ordinates into the gps unit, combined with putting those into metroguide's "mapsource",
has managed to painstakingly construct a gps route to follow, and of course there's always my paper maps that I never go anywhere without, so we have managed in a sort of a fashion.

If it hadn't been for the short notice, and lack of time to search through the whole site, I think I would have discovered that most of what I needed could have been done with $5 worth of viewing credits, instead of a $60 membership. So only time will telll whether this membership is going to be a one off. I don't forsee renewing it because it certainly hasn't been a great introduction to the site, so it has 12 months that I'm now stuck with whether I want them or not, in order to change that first impression.

Which is quite a shame, because first impressions tend to be harder to shake, and such a simple thing like an automated membership could have seen the site get off to a much better start.

Do not can this site, it's very good, and there is a wealth of information to get off here.

Give the Site a chance mate. !

I joined, to get more access..... never looked back..

And if it takes a couple of days, big deal !

Do your homework properly, and stop being a "stress-head"

Cheers Bucky

ROFL Super T you sign up and then you bag the site, now that's a start of a special person, as you said "first impressions" well my first impression is Bushfix is spot on.

As for short notice trips some of my best trips have been with zip planning just toss stuff in and hope you remembered everything.

Look forward to you having more constructive comments over the next 12 months.

Whoa, touchy touchy.
The only complaint I had was that it isn't instant activation on payment, which I actually think in this day and age is a fair complaint.
Gee, we wouldn't want to mention any shortcomings a site has, let's all just keep quiet about them and not mention them.
Talk about a head in the sand attitude, and now the real friendly responses like "go away", makes the site even more appealing.
I've kept an eye on this site for a very long time, and it's done nothing but improve from day one, but I'm sure it didn't get that way with the attitude some of you are showing.

Sheesh.
